It’s clear from my website statistics that people do more Sticklers over the Australian summer break. The biggest month for website visitors is January, and it’s been that way since the Stickler Weekly started over three years ago. The drop off during February is quite pronounced, with solvers obviously putting activities involved with starting a new year ahead of crossword solving.
So I know many of you are behind and I’m going to give you an extra week to catch up. My apologies to those who have usually it finished by midday of the day of posting – you are exceptional people.
The Stickler Weekly will return next week along with last week’s solution.
Best and thanks
David
The Stickler
How about having one spare, sitting on the shelf David.
Meanwhile withdrawal symptoms have caused me to download No 23/Feb24, 2014
Astonished that you have been running three plus years.
David, Obviously a much needed break. But I am left in suspenders! Guess I can handle it.

David has been going much longer than that. I recently downloaded (from this site I think) one of his earliest puzzles under the Stickler brand. My U3A group were delighted to be able to solve it (even the novices). David has got harder since then, which is great as it keeps me developing my vocabulary and way of looking at words.
I am a day behind this week and did not get onto your site until this evening looking forward to stretching my mind over the latest crossword. Oh well! we are al entitled to a break – enjoy.
Hope you have a good break, I purchased Box set 1 and i am still working my way through without the help of the extra clues, just a little extra challenge I set myself but it’s great to know they are there if needed, are you thinking of a second box set?
